Skateboarding Legend Rodney Mullen Speaks on “Getting Up Again” at TED

Randy Mullen is called the “Godfather of Street Skating” for good reason. He is credited with inventing numerous skateboarding tricks, including the kickflip, heelflip, impossible, flatground ollie, and 360-flip.

In this TED talk, Mullen discusses how we can all learn from great skateboarders the art and power of “Getting Up Again.” Even though life can beat you down to a pulp and every voice you hear says stay down, there is still hope. Not driven by the will to win, but by the will to live.
